• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Animating a camera

  Hi, I'd like to be able to animate the position and LookDirection of a PerspectiveCamera from within the camera itself. In other words, another class can call _camera.Animate(point, vector) and the Animate method will apply an animation. I can get it working (not perfectly) using PerspectiveCamera.BeginAnimation(), but I understand using StoryBoards is more desirable. However, I'm having trouble understanding what I need to do to get a storyboard working from within procedural code. What sort of object do I need a reference to - is the camera enough, or do I need something else If there is a nice sample for animating the camera out there, that would be good too. Cheers, Ashley OK, found what I was lookin ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Higher Level Edition error when run in a Sql Job

  Hi, I am receiving the following error in Sql Job agent when I try to run an SSIS package : The task "Create Excel File" cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition. It then goes on to tell me : The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (2) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. I have tried reseting the error count to allow for the "errors" , but it stills fails. The job suceeds in Visual Studio, but not when scheduled in Sql Management Studio. Any suggestions Thanks, J. Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition. The version of SQL ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook 2003 Stationary and font color

  When using a stationary background my signature font color changes from what my settings are set at. But if I remove the stationary background all is well. Is this normal Don, I believe this behavior is by design. When Outlook applies the stationery theme it applies the font to all of the text. It is good to recall that yours is not really a developer-related question, nor is it really a VSTO question, and this forum targets mainly VSTO-related questions.

• Visual C# arrays and properties.

  dear all, I have a class called precipitate class Precipitate { private string name; public string Name { get { return name; } set { name = value; } } } So far so good. I create an array of the precipitate class Precipitate[] prec = new Precipitate[20]; for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) prec = new Precipitate(); when I want to access the property name for a particular array element we do it as prec .name.

• Visual Basic Embedded Objects/Saving From Clipboard

  I'm able to copy an embedded object, specifically in Word, to the clipboard. I can even see the various types of data stored in the clipboard. My problem is getting to the object or package contents. I want to mimick the following: Select an object by clicking once on it. Copy to clipboard Paste to folder location. I've got it through #2, but #3 has got me stumped. I don't have all the code I've tried, but I could put the latest on here if necessary. Using VB.NET if that helps.

• Visual C++ can no longer drag arrow to change next statement to execute in vs05

  [Moved this discussion from " Visual Studio Debugger" due to no responses there.] I recently migrated from VS03 to VS05 (using VC++). Using the debugger to break into my code, I used to be able to drag the little yellow arrow to change the next executed statement. After switching to VS05 that functionality seems to be broken. Specifically: I set a breakpoint. In the debugger I can step through the code just fine (with F10). If I hover my cursor over the yellow arrow, the tool tip reads: "This is the next statement that will be executed. To change which statement is executed next, drag the arrow. This may have unintended consequences." However when I try to click and drag the arrow, I am unable to move it ...Show All

• SQL Server Installing the cumulative hotfix onto Express

  So today I decided I may as well put the latest hotfix package for Sql 2005 onto my laptop. Unlike SP1 the hotfix actually seemed to know about SQL Express and attempt to install itself only to collapse in a big heap. The log file indicates it can't find a bunch of files it wants to patch. So how do I apply the hotfixes to Express If the upgrade or hotfix fails, it makes a bunch of entries in the System and Application event logs, and also has a log of it's own. The hotfix tells you where the log file is located when it starts. Buck Woody ...Show All

• Visual C# How to pass a method as a constructor parameter

  I have a Counter class that runs in parallel to the main form of my app. I want the counter to know the method in the main form to call when the counter stops or reaches 0. How do I pass the address of the method in the main form to the counter in C# This would be fairly easy in C++. Or, would it be better to generate an event that is "sent" to the main form like somebutton.Click += new System. EventHandler ( this .timer1_Tick); Can I do: counter.something += new System.EventHandler(this.counterhandler_method); Thanks. Yes a delegate is nothing more than a function pointer. Unlike C++ where it is notoriously difficult to pass class members as a function pointer in .NET it is automatically supported with no addi ...Show All
